Balls on display
 

May I ask the function/purpose of the triangular cluster of marble-size globes located on the central windscreen pillar of many civil aircraft. Thank you.

They are to guide the pilots into the correct seating position. Align the 2 balls for your seat et voila! Simples

Many Thanks for that.

A more personal use is made by your own equipment during full up elevator control check.

Unless you is a girl :rolleyes:

In which case it's not called the cockpit any more, it's called the box office.

Yeah yeah, I know, hat,coat......
